There is a guide for this update!

 

See Java Edition guides/Adventure Update for a guide to all of the new features introduced in Adventure Update.

The Adventure Update is the name of two major themed updates for Java Edition, and focused on aspects such as combat, exploration, and adventure. The first part was released as Beta 1.8 on September 14, 2011 which focused on the new hunger feature, terrain and structure generation, and a new mob. The second part was released as official release 1.0.0 on November 18, 2011, adding potions, enchantments, and the new End dimension with an entirely optional final boss.

It was announced on June 10, 2011 by Notch, and was initially planned to be implemented in Java Edition Beta 1.7.^[1] An early version of the Adventure Update was playable by fans at Mojang's booth at PAX Prime 2011, which was held between August 26 and 28.^[2] Because of the size of the update, the first part of the update was pushed back to Beta 1.8^[3], which became available on September 14, 2011 and the rest of the update being part of Minecraft 1.0, which was released on November 18, 2011. The first pre-release of Minecraft Beta 1.8 was leaked before Beta 1.8's official release, and Notch approved this leak on his Twitter.^[4]
